how can i find more sounds. I know I can get samples from anywhere but what about some good drumsounds,kits basses which is the meat of beats. Also with samples I know how to go to turn the dial initially to make it loud and also the tune, pitch, levels and all that. But how can I initially have a louder sound of my samples coming in because sometimes my samples are not as loud or louder than my beat.

No. At the bottom it says select your download, hit free. It will take you to a waiting screen and then you'll be able to download. :D

Search the net for "copyright free ******" *****= whatever you wnat drums loops basses etc or "royalty free *****". or forget the copyright or royalty bit and just have fun there are tons of things


Get ur cd collection, vinyl , synths whatever and start sampling

It is a sampler!!!

Even better get ur grandma to cut the cheese and use as a snare

The possibilities are endless

1. As above be creative...

2. Sample them louder or get a preamp/mixer or turn everything else down and your speakers up. I assume you know about gain structure (If not do a search) Oh and when you're mixing don't just turn everything up because that ends up sounding like ****. Turn other stuff down it's much more effective...

Yeah that's for sure. I learned this one the hard way, after a lot of poopy mixes.
